I'm not sure that he charges for updating Leasey, though. I believe he
mentions that updates are and will remain free after the purchase. FS do
support Leasey where they can, so at least he has an ongoing
arrangement/relationship with therm. (Jonathan has interviewed Brian on the
FSCast two or three times about Leasey.) Leasey will not be developed to
support NVDA, as Brian makes clear on his site, mainly because of licensing
issues; also there are philosophical differences underlying how Leasey works
and how NVDA operartes. (NVDA reads the screen; Leasey interprets it.)

Keep in mind that because Leasey is based on JAWS scripts, whenever
there is a major JAWS upgrade the program will be broken until he
updates it. This can also happen if the programs that it supports are
upgraded, such as a new version of MS Word, etc. I believe that he
charges for periodic updates, so this will be another ongoing expense.

Hi,
Leasey is an 'acronym' compiled from: Learn Enable Advance - So Easy.
It's a program in two editions: The Basic package, and the Advanced
package. The Basic edition is mainly for complete computer beginners.
Leasey works only with JAWS. The Leasey Basic package costs more, and
does more in that it speaks additional help dialogue prompts in a female
voice . The Advanced Package adds some additional functionalities to
JAWS, and workd from the keyboard. Thus, the Advanced Package is rather
like a set of scripts that do additional things - in Internet Explorer,
Microsoft Word, Facebook, Chicken Nugget, Winamp, Foobar2000, and some
more programs.
Before you buy, there is an evaluation version the potential user could
try.
I tried the evaluation of the Advanced package. I decided that Leasey is
not for me at least for now. Other users may react more favourably. I
happen to believe that one thing the user should be able to do,
particularly if s/he is an advanced user, is disable Leasey while
running the version of JAWS it was installed in. From my reading of the
documentation, one cannot do that.
If one does want to disable it, one has to either uninstall it or use a
version of JAWS that Leasey was not installed into.
Just to reiterate: There are good things about Leasey. But it may not be
for all users. It will suit some very well.

Hi group,
Several members have mentioned a piece of software called Leecy. I
probably have that spelled incorrectly.
What exactly is this software?
What does it do?
How much does it cost?
Another list member asked the same question and didn't get a response.
I'm sorry for the ignorance but I've never heard of this program before.
